Widgets

Widgets are tiny applications that deliver instant access to news, weather, horoscopes and more.
The Mippin home page has a weather or news widget pre-installed. Widgets that can be controlled have a spanner icon in the grey title bar that allows you to change the settings. Click on the spanner for the weather widget and you will be presented with a drop-down list of locations to choose from. Select the new location and click ‘Go’. Then select ‘Update’ to make the change on the home page.
There are lots of widgets to choose from. From the Mippin home page, select ‘Widgets’ from the category list at the bottom. Then click on the widget you want to add. You will be shown the widget in action and any settings controls. Select the green ‘Add’ icon to add it to your home page. Select ‘Cancel’ to return to the Widget list.
Removing a widget from the home page is equally as simple. Just click on the ‘x’ next to the spanner icon.
